La Viruta

The story behind

La Viruta is that track that sounds like tangos speeding up without warning. The bandoneon and violin tangle in a game of notes that seem to slip away from the beat, as if the rhythm itself is in a hurry to get somewhere. There’s something about that sudden acceleration that hooks you: it’s not just the tempo, but the feeling that each instrument is hot on the heels of the next, as if the tango had to run to avoid falling behind.
